Day 0 and 1/4

We are currently suffering from an infestation of contractors.  The first floor bathroom has been closed for fumigation and when that's finished, there will, no doubt, be an outbreak in the front hallway.

While the end goal is going to make my life (and my Dad's life) easier, I am finding the intermediate steps infuriating.  Only two more weeks to go!

It does leave me questioning my sanity about starting a new project now.  Part of my goal was to get a picture of something I'd done online everyday.  I haven't as yet been able to manage that.  Especially since all the construction has been accompanied by a slightly hysterical dog.  Who is currently whining and has been for twenty minutes or so (and no! she doesn't need to go out).  Can you see the slight twitch I've developped in my right eyelid?

Day Zero

So I've given up on my other blog site.  It wasn't working properly after going to Japan and now won't let me in.  Their loss!

So, a new start.  Again.

I bought a book the other day called 365: A Daily Creativity Journal by Noah Scalin.  It suggests making something every day as an artistic challenge.  The author made skulls. Some of them are quite interesting.

The idea appeals to me except for the 365 days part and the every day part.  He also suggests a theme (thus the skulls) to make it easier.  Really what my theme needs to be is: finishing stuff.  Most of my 'to be finished' pile, though,  is projects of more than one day tasks.

I think what I would need to do for this 365 project is break it up into days, like Monday is organize day, Friday is Finished Fibre day...I don't know what else yet.

So, what do you think? Is a 365 project crazy?
